In an age where Jorie Graham and Allen Ginsberg are considered great poets,
says Lind, it's no surprise that Shakespeare is so grossly overrated... (see
article below)
Anyway, I've got the man's email. He is impressively prolific (books of
history, sociology, novels, and poetry) and is on editorial boards of New
Yorker, New Republic, and Harper's, and a regular on T.V. talking-head
shows. And the fellow's 33 or 34 years old. He is quoted in an article as
identifying himself as a "polemicist" and saying that since there is only "a
right position and a wrong one" that the art of polemics "is to write your
opponents off the page."
OK, get ready if he says yes...
